A great space in a convenient part of town! The building reminded us of a boutique hotel which was clean and quiet. About a ten minute walk from the Metro, we were close to many shops and restaurants and a short ride to the National Mall. The large bed was very comfortable and we were able to watch a movie on the projection screen by hooking-up our laptop. Although we didn't use it, the kitchen is very modern and the appliances are all new. The Host was very flexible with check-in/check-out times and the communication was excellent. As we were first time BNB travelers, Elle has set our standards high!

The apartment is very very cute. Brand new appliances, modern bathroom and furnishings. It is centrally located close to a market and a shopping mall. What ruined it for us is the host and her lack of hospitality. It seemed as if we stepped into a college dorm that someone just stepped out of. There were dirty dishes in the dish washer, the bathroom was filled with personal toiletries and also had a nightgown hanging on the door. The bathroom towels were old and stained with some kind of dye. The sheets were not changed (found dark hair and dust in the sheets), we had to look for a clean set of sheets and changed them ourselves. We had some trouble with the key to the building, and when asked the host to help, she responded in an unfriendly manner. We will not be back.

I am confused by Konstantin's review as his complaints seems to go against the essence of airbnb. For example, "dirty dishes in the dish washer, the bathroom was filled with personal toiletries and also had a nightgown hanging on the door," is unreasonable. Isn't the point of airbnb that you're renting someone's personal space? Did Konstantin expect me to remove all evidence that I actually live in my apartment? And his complaint about the key: He called me accusing me of giving keys that did not work, and I tried to clarify over the phone that in fact, the keys do work (as evidenced by my 20+ reviews) but because I didn't rush over immediately I was unfriendly? Konstantin seems to have expected my apartment to live up a 5-star hotel standard yet at a fraction of the cost.

Elle's apartment is in a very convenient location in the great, diverse neighborhood of Columbia Heights. The description is accurate- everything was new (well, except for the tub which they must have decided not to replace when they renovated- but it was fine) and the central air conditioning and ceiling fan were welcome in the DC heat. Watched a movie using her computer projector, which was very easy to use. We didn't meet Elle, but communication was excellent and everything went very smoothly. Would definitely stay again.

I stayed there for two nights with my parents.Danielle's apartment is really great : it is nice, very clean and close to the subway and the couch for the third person is really comfortable !
She was a great host : easy to contact. I recommend this apartment for anyone going in DC !

Danielle was a great host. She was really flexible with our check-in/ check-out times since we were driving in. The apt was new and conveniently a few minutes walk from the Metro station and share bikes. As per Danielle's suggestion, we parked our car in the parking lot by the Metro for just $20/night (street parking is not recommended unless you secure a permit). There's no tv but we are big fans of the projector hook up!

I normally can provide a permit for my guests, so they generally do not have to pay for parking. However Julie's reservation was booked on short notice so I was unable to secure a permit for her. Also I recommended another daily lot that charged only $9.50 a day so I am unsure why Julie went for the more expensive lot.

Reviews From Hosts

Elle is a very friendly but independent guest who can take care of herself. I have hardly noticed she was staying in the house as she was out most of the time :)
All communication went smoothly, check-in and check out was seamless.
